Re: Replacing front brake line? (wes77)
I had "fun" with the short little line but the theory is the same.
If you HAVE (physically in your hands, not on order) the new line, then just cut the line off flush at the back of the flare nut at the distribution block. PB Blaster and some heat will help loosen it but a nice 1/2 inch socket makes it easy to take out. Use the armour on the line to help bend it (like a spring style pipe bender) where it is needed. Undo but don't remove unless you really have to - the radiator shroud.
Good luck

Re: Replacing front brake line? (stingry)
Thanks Guys,
I already have the new lines. I tried to just remove the flex line but broke the hard line. It was actually a blessing, I discovered that the lines were really rusted. I was just wondering if the crossover line was going to be a real pain, the left line is already disconnected.
